I hardly ever drink a lot – too lightweight – but I do think drinking habits have changed.

Back when I were a lad, hardened drinking men would boast of drinking 10 -12 pints in a night and being paralytic.

Now it seems that a lot of people will knock off far bigger quantities of alcohol in a night between the vodka before leaving home, the shots etc. The problem is not just from the quantity, but the speed at which the alcohol is taken in especially on an empty stomach at the end of a working day.

The resulting extreme intoxication can seem more like the results of an illegal substance than mere drunkenness.

I believe there was a police poster campaign a while ago which said that the most common date-rape drug is alcohol. I can believe it.

yes i agree wordy
youngsters seem to go out with the intention of getting hammered and hit spirits straight away
get through loads in a short period
in my day we would yes drink 8 pints and end up hammered by the end of the night
but was a much slower process
and some how we were in more control of events

I have a “how could you do it son?” about one of my offspring – when he was 14 he was upset that we never let him go to a party, so he proceeded to polish off every bit of alcohol in the house (he’s just lucky I didn’t have any single malt there, but I was looking forward to the Capt Morgan myself). Anyway, he got so drunk he started speaking in a foreign language (one of his mates’). Having kept him awake for long enough to be satisfied he wasn’t going to die, the inevitable happened and I ended up spending the early morning mopping floors and changing bedclothes. If he’d come home in that state, I’d have been convinced that he’d taken something other than alcohol. Muppet!
